Three-game winning streak for Whitby Fury stopped

Edged 3-2 in Trenton

TRENTON -- With playoffs just two games away, the Whitby Fury found out they can play with the best in the league.

They are still going to have to find a way to beat them though. Wednesday night in Trenton against the top team in the Ontario Junior Hockey League, the Fury came up a goal short in a 3-2 loss.

The teams traded goals through all three periods, with Trenton scoring in the first, Greg Milner replying for the Fury to tie it in the second, Trenton taking the lead in the third, only to have Taylor Best tie it 2-2 wit just under seven minutes to go. But Trenton took their turn to score again with 4:56 remaining in the game to pull out the 3-2 victory, as the Fury couldn't reply a final time.

The shots on goal were relatively close, as the Fury had 24, not quite matching the 33 Trenton fired at goaltender Tyler Feaver.

The loss snapped a three-game winning streak the Fury had built, as they take a 30-18-5 record into Wellington tonight, and finish the regular season Sunday in Pickering.
